Bali guide

You are dreaming of Bali. You can already picture yourself with a fresh coconut, riding a scooter through vast rice terraces, or swimming face to face with a sea turtle.

But when the time comes to plan that trip, reality bites. Between blogs contradicting each other, an island whose size makes distances deceptive, and the gut fear of being ripped off the moment you leave the airport, organising it quickly turns into a nightmare.

A thousand questions come up:

How do you rent a scooter safely?

What paperwork do you need?

How do you get to the Gili Islands?

How do you avoid falling ill on day two?

And above all: how do you build an itinerary that actually holds together, seeing everything without being worn out by the travelling?

Forget the dozens of hours lost cross-checking information on Google.

I have condensed 100% of what you need for the perfect adventure into a single document.

What you will find inside: this is not just a 107-page PDF.

It is a genuine interactive GPS for your holiday, with your Google Maps list included.

Inside, I give you absolutely everything:

• Step-by-step itineraries (10, 14 or 21 days): I tell you where to sleep, where to eat and what to see each day. Travel times are calculated, the budget for each route is costed. All you have to do is follow the plan.

• The ultimate flight hack: the exact method I use to bring my flight down from €1,300 to €780.

• Safety first: my field advice to avoid the famous Bali belly, rent your two-wheeler with peace of mind, and my health insurance recommendations.

• All my contacts and GPS points: tap the links on the map and let it guide you. I share my secret addresses (like that little-known place to stay in Munduk, that local restaurant in Gili Meno, or the monkey forest that costs half what Ubud does).

• Your preparation made as simple as possible: the detail of the formalities (visa, tourist tax), the exact smart packing checklist, and the only local apps you actually need.

• The best of the island without the traps: my honest recommendations for exploring Ubud, Amed, Munduk, Gili Meno, Uluwatu or the cliffs of Nusa Penida, always knowing in advance what to pay for tickets or boats.

• A real person behind the pages: buying a guide is good. Having someone to talk to is better. With this guide you are not left alone in front of your screen: I stay reachable in private. A question about an itinerary? A doubt about a hotel? You can write to me directly. I will gladly help and share my experience so your trip is a complete success.

Want a fully tailor-made stay?

If you genuinely do not have the time (or the wish) to handle the logistics and you want a turnkey trip, built specifically around what you want and your budget, get in touch. I can create your stay from start to finish for an experience with no headaches at all.

Who is this guide for?

Whether you are backpacking with friends, travelling as a couple to reconnect, or going solo to challenge yourself, this logbook adapts to the way you travel. If you value your independence, and want to taste the island's authenticity without the tourist traps and the stress of last-minute logistics, this guide is for you.

Why this guide rather than free travel advice online?

Free articles give you vague ideas. I give you a plan worked out to the millimetre. It is concrete, tested and approved. You will spare yourself weeks of frustrating research and doubt. Above all: with my flight tip alone, or the list of what local taxis really cost, the guide will have paid for itself within the first minutes of planning. It is your insurance for a smooth holiday and a budget under control from beginning to end.
